Chiney Ogwumike led the Cardinal to the Final Four, where they lost in the national semifinals to eventual national champion Connecticut on Sunday. She was a two-time Pac-12 Player of the Year and three-time conference Defensive Player of the Year. Ogwumike averaged 26.5 points and 12.1 rebounds this season as a senior, ending her career as the conference's career scoring leader with 2,722 points.

Ogwumike carries a 3.6 grade-point average in international relations, a component of the award that was important to Wooden.

Ogwumike edged Baylor's Odyssey Sims and UConn's Breanna Stewart, the AP player of the year, in nationwide voting. Doug McDermott of Creighton was previously announced as the male winner.
